(DIST) from shore for all discrete points along the traverse line be- 

 ginning with the most seaward point. 



CARD 5: All cards in this set give the depths (D) below the still- 

 water level for all points corresponding to DIST above. 



CARD 6: This set represents the latitudes (PHI) at the discrete 

 points along the traverse line. Since the traverse line corresponds to 

 a latitude 37 degrees, all values are the same. 



CARD 7: The first five values on this card, R, Pq , Pn, Vp and S© , 

 were defined previously. The next three values are the constants Ci, C2j 

 and C3, which correspond to the constants given in Equations (25) , (26) , 

 and (27), respectively. The last value of 1.1 is a wind-stress correc- 

 tion factor (WKCOR) . This increases Van Dorn's (1953) wind-stress factor 

 by 10 percent to account for the additional stress caused by energy 

 imparted to the sea due to precipitation. 



CARD 8: The first value is maximum gradient wind speed (WX) and the 

 second value is the energy dissipation factor. Since calibration of the 

 numerical model has not been carried out for this location, a value of 

 0.0025 is taken. 



CARD 9: The cards in this set give the height of the astronomical 

 tide above the mean sea level datum. Here the astronomical tide is taken 

 as a constant for the entire computational period with anticipation of 

 correcting the final hydrograph. However, the program is written in such 

 a way that an actual tidal hydrograph can be provided in the input. 



The remaining cards are provided only if IDATA is not equal to 1, 

 which is the case for this example. These cards, with the exception of 

 the first one, give the distances indicated on the horizontal axis on 

 Figure 5 and the corresponding values of the parameters shown. The dis- 

 crete values of r, W and 6 are chosen in such a way that the intermediate 

 values can be interpolated by the program linearly. Thus, when the curves 

 change rapidly, values must be prescribed frequently with distance; when 

 curves change slowly, values can be prescribed less frequently for rela- 

 tively straight curves. The program by an interpolation procedure recon- 

 structs the curves in tabular form for each unit of distance for possible 

 use in generation of the basic storm surge information. 



CARD 10: The values 21, 28 and 26 are the number of points selected 

 for adequate representation of ^r, W and curves, respectively. 



CARDS 11, 12, and 13: These cards give the distances along the 

 horizontal axis in which r, W, and 6 are specified, respectively. 



CARDS 14, 15 and 16: These cards give the values of r, W, and 6 at 

 the specified points along the traverse line, respectively.
